Schumer to force vote on sweeping election overhaul next month
By Jordain Carney - 05/28/21 01:17 PM EDT

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Friday he is planning to force a vote next month on a sweeping bill to overhaul elections, setting the stage for a high-profile clash over the filibuster.

In a letter to the Democratic caucus, Schumer said he would bring the For the People Act, also known as S. 1 and H.R. 1, to the floor in June. Though he's previously said it would get a vote before the August recess, Friday marks the first time he's tied it to a hard timeline.

"In the last week of the June work period, the Senate will vote on S.1, the For the People Act, legislation that is essential to defending our democracy, reducing the influence of dark money and powerful special interests, and stopping the wave of Republican voter suppression happening in the states across the country in service of President Trump’s Big Lie," Schumer wrote.

Schumer told reporters it would come up the week of June 21. The June work period runs through June 25.

The Senate Rules Committee earlier this month deadlocked on the bill, in an hours-long, heated markup with Republicans unanimously voting against the legislation.

DOA
Never going to happen.
Even idiot cowardly Republicans know that if they let Democrats establish the rules of elections, they will never win another race.
Democrats are not known for being 'fair' or honorable. Everything they do is to benefit them, and only them.

Romney doesn't care about that.   Nor does Collins or Murkowski.

But how is this For the Democrat Party Bill getting past the filibuster protections in the Senate?

The GOP is not the party leadership.  The GOP is the party MEMBERSHIP.   The members need to kick the leaders out if they leaders are going the wrong way.  No coddling allowed.

Worse than that, these GOPe slugs want the rats in charge. That way they can get everything they want passed and still look reasonable to their constituency.

They'll have to Nuke the Filibuster first, and I don't think they have the votes for that. :shrug:

It is not about Democrats being in charge.
If the Democrats get their way there simply won't be any more Republicans, at all, including Romney, Collins, and Murkowski.

If Democrats are allowed to run elections Republicans will become extinct, all of them.

Even so-called "moderate" Rats are at risk of annihilation if this Bill passes.  They'll get primaried and replaced with Communists.

Keep in mind, always, that when democrats announce something in advance and want it quickly passed, its the opposite of what they say it is!
